Value Collection 705243PR Set Screw 8-32 X 1/8 in Oval Point Ss A2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 705243PR is a cup-point-style oval point set screw designed for secure, non-marring fastening applications in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel, this fastener resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposed, and outdoor environments. The 8-32 UNC thread and 1/8-inch overall length make it suited for compact assemblies where a low-profile, headless fastener is required. The 5/64-inch internal hex drive is engaged with a standard hex key and meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 dimensional and performance standards. These set screws are typically installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general industrial equipment.

This set screw is used wherever a headless fastener must lock a component such as a collar, gear, pulley, or knob onto a shaft without protruding above the surface. The oval point tip concentrates clamping force while reducing damage to shaft surfaces compared to cup or cone point styles. Common install scenarios include motor shafts, valve stems, and equipment adjustment mechanisms in both residential and light commercial trade applications. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Oval point tip reduces shaft surface damage while maintaining firm axial hold
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel provides strong corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 8-32 UNC thread for reliable engagement in standard tapped holes
• 5/64-inch hex drive compatible with standard hex keys
• Headless design sits flush or below surface for clearance-critical assemblies
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC headless set screw suitable for tapped holes in collars, hubs, pulleys, and similar mechanical components requiring an oval point fastener per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/64-inch hex key; ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and undamaged before threading. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing fasteners on rotating or pressurized components. Do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when installing into steel or aluminum if repeated removal is expected. Follow applicable machine safety and maintenance codes for the equipment being serviced.
